[5th Tuition]

Lou and I launched about 5:45 this morning and found spot right up against the pilings of the south bridge in shallow water. Put about 15 in the livewell and headed to some deeper pilings. Tide was running out at a fair clip so we anchored uptide and drifted some spot back. We picked up two average rock (23-25 inches). We noticed a boater anchored; but with the cover off his motor. We watched him for a while and pulled anchor to see if he needed any help. As we approached; we heard the motor start and we thought "what the hell, lets go down to Hackets and see if we can get some big perch". He started waving us over, and we thought he had problems again, HOWEVER, the motor was running and pissing water when we pulled alongside. He said he was done for the day and did we want his extra spot. Hell yeh! He dipped about 20 nice size spot (4-5inches) into a bucket and handed it to us.
We changed our minds about hackets and headed to the eastern shore side of the bridge to get away from the western shore boats. We found a breakline and anchored up on the last of the outgoing current and quickly picked up our last two rockfich limit (same size as before).
Started to get warm around 10:30 so we picked up and headed to the barn. Back at Sandy Point, we released our spot (no one was headed out). We loaded the boat,stored rods, gave the survey guy a small piece of our mind about PSCR and hit the restroom.
When we came out, a guy and his wife launched a small tracker boat and we gave then our extra bloodworms and wished them luck.
Came home, cleaned the fish and the wife says "I have some friends coming over for lunch because I didn't think you would be home yet". So she fixed them fresh rockfish filets and they loved them.
It was a good day.
